TRCN said the results indicated that 8,705 candidates (67.62%) passed, while 4,169 (32.38%) failed. “Notably, Lagos State emerged as the leading state with an impressive pass rate of 80.0 per cent, followed by Edo State at 73.3 per cent, Niger State at 69.2 per cent, while the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) ranked fourth at 68.3 per cent.
TRCN in the statement asked all candidates that participated in the examination to check the status of their results online at www.fron.gov.ng or www.trcnigeria.ng or visit any of our TRCN State or Liaison Office, asking successful candidates to proceed with processing their certificates and licenses.
It noted that the validity of the examination results for certification is one year from the date of the release/publication.
The Council, however, confirmed that the
examination encountered some challenges, mostly low digital skills among some teachers which affected their performance, and to address the challenges, TRCN is working towards offering digital literacy training for teachers, curriculum guide and past questions online.
Dr. Ronke Soyombo, the Registrar/Chief Executive, TRCN, said the Council is committed to supporting the growth and development of educators.
She encouraged candidates who did not pass to develop and equip themselves with necessary ICT trainings and pedagogical upskills, and register for the November batch.
